trusted food; non-vegie's delight and veggie's too
There used to be a quaint little chinese restaurant on hill road which served one of the better spicy-schzewan sauce, the one that i can distinctly remember for som reason....well, this place has now been replaced by spice tree!
I have confirmed this place time and again now (3 visits) and it has failed to disappoint me, yet!!
The restaurant offers a choice of open dining and closed dining both. You may sit amongst palm trees and a small fish pond in the open or sit staring at the same ambience within the confines of an air conditioner complete with glass walls on two sides.
A friendly staff, a friendly captain welcome you. Some of the mocktails that we ordered were brilliant (Sorry, i cannot recollect which ones)
On one occasion we feasted on the moderately priced non-veg kebab platter (20 pcs, Rs. 405/-) and a dry prawn starter. The prawns ghassi had a supremely flavoured gravy (red) with large prawns priced under Rs. 300/-. The appams that I ordered were a sorry state of affairs (very very badly made). But I let that pass in lieu of the otherwise magnificent food.
On another occasion, I had a paneer starter (around Rs. 110/-) and a half chicken tandoori (Rs. 175/-). They had mentioned that its a chef's special style of cooking and so they did deliver. It was richly marinated, right to the inside and coated on the outside with spices, done in butter and grilled to perfection. The chicken biryani was well done too but nothing to rave about (Rs. 180/-). The dal khichdi was redefining again!!....Have you ever realised that a stray incident of some particular very badly-made food item renders you wary of ordering the same dish again, be it at any place. So had been my story with the dal khichdi, until I encountered spice-tree to regain my faith in the same!!
A dinner for 4 with non-alcoholic drinks may strap you off Rs. 2000/- with a very fine and elegant ambience.
